What Makes Hand Therapy So Specialized?

Our hands are critical to everyday life—whether it's typing, cooking, driving, or holding a cup of coffee. When an injury, surgery, or chronic condition affects the hand or upper extremity, recovery can be complex. That’s where hand therapy comes in.

Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs) are occupational or physical therapists with advanced training in treating conditions from the shoulder to the fingertips. Their role is to help restore strength, motion, and function through customized rehabilitation plans.

Common reasons people seek hand therapy include:
- Post-surgical recovery (e.g., tendon repair, joint replacement)
- Repetitive strain injuries (carpal tunnel, tendonitis)
- Arthritis management
- Fractures or dislocations
- Nerve compression or trauma

Treatment begins with a detailed evaluation. Your therapist will assess movement, strength, sensation, and daily activity limitations. From there, they design a tailored plan that may include:
- Therapeutic exercises
- Manual techniques
- Splinting (custom-made if needed)
- Adaptive tools and ergonomic education

Hand therapy doesn’t just target pain or range of motion. It focuses on returning patients to the specific activities that matter to them. Whether you're a musician, athlete, or office worker, therapy goals are based on your lifestyle.

CHTs also collaborate closely with referring physicians and surgeons to ensure a coordinated recovery. This team approach helps speed healing and reduce complications. In some cases, therapy may even help avoid surgery altogether.

Regaining hand function is about more than mobility—it’s about restoring independence. Hand therapy offers a bridge between medical management and full recovery.

Do You Have an Answer for Fall Risk Patients?

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older adults—and they’re more common than you may think. If someone you love experienced a fall, would you know what to do? Fortunately, physical therapy offers more than recovery—it offers prevention.

🔍 Why Falls Happen
Falls are rarely due to one cause. They often stem from a combination of age-related factors like:
- Muscle weakness
- Poor vision
- Inner ear (vestibular) disorders
- Side effects of medication

🧠 Understanding the Brain’s Role
The brain relies on three systems to maintain balance: vision, the inner ear (vestibular system), and proprioception (body awareness from joints/muscles). When one of these systems sends conflicting signals, the brain experiences a “sensory mismatch,” increasing the risk of dizziness or falls.

🎯 The FYZICAL Balance Paradigm
Some physical therapy clinics, like FYZICAL, use a science-backed approach to treating fall risk patients. This includes:
- **Theoretical Framework**: Identifying the sensory mismatch
- **Conceptual Framework**: Prescribing exercises that retrain the brain
- **Progressive Framework**: Guiding the patient through structured improvement

Unlike guesswork or generic exercise plans, this method is precise—much like prescribing the right dosage of medicine.

💡 Why It Matters
When left unaddressed, falls can lead to fear, inactivity, and a downward spiral of health. But with the right intervention, people can regain not only their balance—but their confidence.

If you or someone you care about feels unsteady, it may be time to ask: could this be more than “just aging”?

Balance can be retrained—and falls can be prevented.

When I first started physical therapy, my primary concern was the fear of falling and the constant pain I had in my back and hips. At my age, the thought of falling was frightening, and the pain made simple tasks like walking or standing for long periods feel impossible. Since beginning therapy at the clinic, I’ve made remarkable progress, and I’m now able to move with more confidence and less discomfort.The balance training was a game-changer for me. The clinic uses a pulley and harness system that made me feel completely safe while I worked on improving my balance. At first, I was nervous about doing exercises that challenged my stability, but the harness gave me the security I needed to push through my fear. With regular practice, I’ve gained more control over my movements, and I no longer feel as though I’m at constant risk of falling. The exercises have been tailored to strengthen my core and legs, which has made a huge difference in how I carry myself when I walk.Another part of the therapy that stood out to me was the strength training. My therapist created a personalized program that focused on the muscles that would help me maintain better balance and mobility. This strengthening work has not only reduced my pain, especially in my hips and lower back, but it has also improved my ability to recover from losing balance. I feel much more stable and able to manage day-to-day activities without worrying about pain or stumbling.The clinic’s approach to teaching me how to

What Happens When a Concussion Affects Your Inner Ear?

Most people think of concussions as brain injuries that cause headaches, memory issues, or confusion. But many concussions also disrupt the vestibular system—the inner ear structures that help you stay balanced and oriented. This often-overlooked component can significantly delay recovery if not properly addressed.

How Do Concussions Affect the Vestibular System?

A concussion may result from a direct head impact, a blow to the body that jars the head, or rapid head movements without actual contact. These forces can damage not only brain tissue but also the delicate vestibular organs or the nerves connecting them to the brain.

Vestibular involvement is common after concussion and may explain lingering symptoms like:
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Imbalance or poor coordination
- Motion sensitivity
- Blurred or unstable vision with movement (oscillopsia)

What’s the Difference Between Normal and Prolonged Recovery?

Most people recover from a concussion in a few weeks. However, when the vestibular system is affected, symptoms often last longer or worsen with activity. This condition is sometimes referred to as **post-concussion syndrome with vestibular involvement**.

Red flags for prolonged recovery include:
- Ongoing dizziness with movement or visual stimuli
- Difficulty focusing or reading
- Fatigue after short bouts of activity or screen time
- Anxiety or motion-induced discomfort

How Is Vestibular Involvement Diagnosed?

There’s no single test. Diagnosis relies on:
- Clinical history and symptom pattern
- Eye movement and balance testing
- Observing responses to head or positional changes
- Ruling out other causes like neck injuries or migraines

Vestibular-trained physical therapists or neurologists often conduct these evaluations.

How Can Vestibular Rehabilitation Help?

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is an evidence-based approach that retrains the brain and body to adapt to vestibular dysfunction. It may include:
- **Gaze stabilization exercises** to improve visual focus during motion
- **Balance training** on various surfaces or in challenging environments
- **Habituation exercises** to reduce sensitivity to motion or visual overload
- **Gradual reintegration into physical and cognitive tasks**

VRT is tailored to individual deficits and often leads to significant symptom reduction, even in patients whose concussion occurred months earlier.

What’s the Prognosis?

With proper assessment and targeted therapy, recovery from vestibular-related concussion symptoms is very possible. However, untreated vestibular dysfunction can prolong disability and hinder return to school, work, or sports.

Takeaway

If your concussion recovery isn’t going as expected—especially if dizziness, imbalance, or motion issues persist—vestibular involvement may be the missing piece. Early identification and rehabilitation can significantly shorten recovery time and improve quality of life.
